章 24: New Games! Disturbance In Auction

As the night fell, Long Ming sat among the guests as he watched the crowd of people filling the Eternal Spring Tower.

" Damn, To think Eternal Spring Tower will open a restaurant. You know, I came here today. They introduced around five new dishes!"

" What? Five new dishes?" Hurry up and tell us! How did they taste?"

" I have to say, It was pretty unique. Not to mention, the taste was addictive. I ordered three more servings."

" Really? Can we order the food now?"

" Let's see."

Long Ming smiled as he saw people ordering the food in Eternal Spring Tower. When Long Ming asked Meng Zhi about this, she informed him that Blissful Hall's cuisine was much better than Eternal Spring Tower's.

Since Long Ming couldn't improve the quality of the food or get a better chef overnight, he used an underhand method to increase the profit.

" So, This is the new dish? Golden Shrimp Balls? Made with fresh hundred-year-old shrimps of the Western lake?"

" Mm, It is really crispy outside and tender inside."

" How about this? Roasted Demon Boar Kebab?"

" Oh wow! This tastes great! The charred flavor is perfect!"

As the guests enjoyed the food and wine, Long Ming saw Meng Zhi walking to the center of the stage.

" Good evening, Everyone. I hope you have been enjoying the food and drinks." Meng Zhi smiled. She wore a sexy robe of red and black color. Her hair was tied in braids and one could see her sexy thighs from the slits of her dress.

" Indeed!"

" The food and wine is perfect!"

" More! I demand more plates!"

Meng Zhi smiled. " Well? Although you all like the food here, this isn't the main attraction today."

" Tonight, we are opening our gambling exclusive area! Come here and gamble in the way you never thought about!"

All of the guests were stunned when Meng Zhi announced that. When the guests entered the floor, they were shocked. They saw many big tables, along with many strange machines they never seen.

" What is this?"

" What kind of machines are those?"

Meng Zhi smiled as she pointed at the machine. " This is our new invention. It is called… The Slot Machine!"

" Guests can exchange their spirit stones with tokens. And, they can use the tokens to spin this machine. There are many symbols here. Once, you get three same types of symbols in a row, you will be able to win ten times on your betting amount!"

" Then, guests can again exchange the tokens with spirit stones at our counters."

" Wh-Whoa! This game is amazing, no?"

" Let me try!"

The base price of the slot machines is 100 low grade spirit stones. Not to mention, there are seven symbols of seven colors. The violet color trio gives the ultimate price as the red trio gives two times, the orange trio gives three times, the Yellow trio gives four times, etc.

Also, if one gets two of the same color in a row adjacent to each other, they with get 1.5x their money.

The rules sounded very generous as they attracted several men instantly.

Long Ming only smiled as he saw people flocking to the slot machines. They exchanged thousands of spirit stones into tokens as they started playing on the slot machines.

*TRING TRING*

The slots spun as everyone looked at the results with eager gazes.

" Damn! I lost!"

" Tch, I knew it. My luck is very bad."

" Whoa! I won two colors in a row! Haha, I am going to get 350 low grade spirit stones!"

Long Ming sipped the wine as he enjoyed the show.

" To think you made such an ingenious idea. It is practically the same as robbing the people."

Long Ming laughed as he glanced at Mu Qinglian, who was sitting beside him. " Why? I didn't threaten them to play slots though. They are playing because they wish to."

" Then, What about the mega prize?" Mu Qinglian asked. " I wonder if someone is going to win it."

Long Ming shrugged. " What can I say? It all depends on the luck."

" WHOA! I won a Green Trio! My 400 spirit stones doubled!"

Long Ming laughed as he saw the people plunging into the vicious cycle of slot machines. All the sweet rules are nothing more than traps for the customer.

For example, assume you spent 100 low grade spirit stones but won the Violet trio. You will get 1000 low grade spirit stones. The man will certainly feel lucky.

However, at that moment, he will be also depressed. He will ask why he only used 100 low grade spirit stones. If he had better 1000 low-grade spirit stones, he could have gotten 10000 low grade spirit stones.

The hunger for money, and the greed of winning, all will make him spend his luck to earn 1000 low grade spirit stones.

However, many cultivators weren't fools as they could see the slot machines were well disguised scams. But, for them, Long Ming prepared other baits.

" This is a card game called Pai Gow poker. Since most of you might be unfamiliar, today, we are going to play free for the first ten rounds."

" This is called Guess the Dice Game!"

" This called Roulette…"

Mu Qinglian sighed as she saw Long Ming enjoying the scene. Even she couldn't help but get tempted to play a round or two in the gambling sections.

" Actually, What you did do with the food?" Mu Qinglian asked in a curious voice. " Although our new dishes taste good, people are ordering a bit…too much."

Long Ming looked around as he whispered. " Well, The food is the same. It's just I added a bit of addictive stimulant."

" I got my hands on some thousand year old Hallucination grass. After adding it with another herb, I made a strongly addictive liquid." Long Ming laughed. " Then, just a little amount of this liquid, and people will feel like they need more."

Mu Qinglian was stunned when she heard Long Ming. This method was pretty…petty.

After that, Mu Qinglian saw Long Ming in a new light.

As the gambling section continued, the main event started in Eternal Spring Tower.

" Tonight, Our Third Crimson Flower, Miss Hai is looking for a companion who could taste her cuisine and give an honest review."

Xiao'er spoke in a calm voice as a woman wearing a naked apron, holding a silver ladle walked on the ramp. The men starting at her body couldn't help but whistle at her sight.

" Marvelous! Simply the finest craft!"

" Damn! To think such a simple dress will look so…Explosive!"

" The Cat Girl last night was quite good too. I heard the young master that won her say the night was simply exceptional."

" Damn it, Today, Another fierce battle is going to break out."

Before Xiao'er could even speak further, someone shouted, " 30 Mid grade Spirit stones!"

" Thirty Five!"

" Thirty eight!"

" Forty!"

" Eighty!"

" Whoa!"

" Is that Han Family Young Master?"

" Haha, Really? Ninety!"

" One hundred!"

Mu Qinglian was shocked when the price stopped at two hundred and ten mid grade spirit stones!

" Damn, two hundred mid grade spirit stones spent like that?" Mu Qinglian pouted. " It's already the fifth of my monthly allowance."

" Well, You see, People are full of money." Long Ming spoke. " Naturally, a descendent of a rich family gets to spend more than a sect disciple. Not to mention I am sure you got quite an amount of spirit stones in your hidden stash."

As they talked, The final Crimson Flower appeared on the stage. The sexy martial artist girl, held a sword as she walked on the stage with a prideful expression.

" Hmph!"

She snorted as she waved her sword in an arrogant manner. It was like she was looking at all the men there with disdain.

" The Finale is here!" Xiao'er waved her hands as she gave a cheerful smile. " The Martial Artist from the north, being destitute and captured. She is seeking a young noble to help her out."

" Hmph, I only approve of the man who is strong and courageous. Those without strength are trash." The woman snorted as she turned around, Her hips swayed a bit as her perky buttocks were revealed under everyone's eyes.

" What a spicy woman."

" Damn it! All of those bastards must be saving money for this purpose!"

" I am bidding! I am bidding already!"

" 10 Mid grade spirit stones!"

" 30!"

" 60!"

" 100!"

Long Ming nodded when he saw the competition. He knew what men like. A beautiful, prideful cultivator submitting on their bed without their willingness, this script is too crispy in itself.

Evoking those bad thoughts in their heart, Long Ming can easily fish out a lot of money from their pockets. Mu Qinglian also smiled as she looked at Long Ming.

" I guess your plan is working a bit too well, huh?"

As they chatted, something unexpected happened.

" Hahaha! Foolish peoples! Eternal Spring Tower's people are despicable scums!"

Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent as someone shouted those words. A group of people walked forward as they looked at Xiao'er and the cosplaying woman.
